About this tournament
3 rounds of play
Join the Honolulu Disc Golf Association (HDGA) for the 28th Annual Flyin' Hawaiian Open. This is a PDGA C Tier event that will be held at the beautiful Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden. Come experience this challenging temporary course setup just for this event!
Where is Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden?
The Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden is located at 45-680 Luluku Road, Kāne'ohe, Oahu, Hawaii 96744.
The two-day event will include one round of 18 and one round 9 holes on Saturday, and one round of 18 on Sunday.
Final determination of the rounds played each day will be determined at tee-off, at the discretion of the tournament director.
*Final determination of Divisions will be made prior to the start of the tournament. If there are fewer than 4 players in any division, that division may be collapsed into a related division (i.e. Grandmaster division could be collapsed into the Master division).
Practice Round: We should have the course available for practice or to hold a doubles round, by mid-afternoon on Friday, September 22(time: TBD). It really depends on how much assistance we have setting up the course. Keep checking the HDGA website (https://www.honoululdiscgolf.com), or our Facebook page closer to the event date for more details.
CAMPING is Available. We will make our best efforts to accommodate all that wish to camp. Currently we already have 6 sites reserved for us for the weekend. MAKE SURE to let us know in registration if you will be camping or not. That said, other locations in the park will become available 2 weeks prior on the permitting website for Ho’omaluhia. We will be in the Nui campgrounds, and there will be other sites available in the same campground.
Parking Pass for the Weekend:
If you are camping with HDGA, get a copy of a camping permit from ALEX (TD) or Allen Borsky (ATD) prior to 4p the first day you are staying. Easiest place will be at check in at the Nui Pavilion Saturday morning or durring the lunch break and place on the dash of your car. If you are planning on trying to camp Friday and arrive after 4p, please message Alex and we can get you your camping permit so you can come in on the later gate if needed.
If you are not camping, please make sure to remember to pick up a parking pass for the weekend. All cars are required to have a parking pass, if they are in the park after 4:00PM and it is likely that Saturday we will go beyond 4p.
Passes will be available from the visitor center any time Friday prior to 3:30p (Visitor center begins shutdown 30 min prior to park closure).
